Noémie Goudal

Born in Paris in 1984
She lives and works between Paris and London

Noémie Goudal is a French artist who graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2010 with an MA in Photography and lives and works between Paris and London. Noémie Goudal’s practice is an investigation into photographs and films as dialectical images, wherein close proximities of truth and fiction, real and imagined offer new perspectives into the photographic canvas. The artist questions the potential of the image as a whole, reconstructing its layers and possibilities of extension, through landscapes’ installations. Noémie Goudal is represented by Edel Assanti (London) and the Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire (Paris).

Oscillating between fantasy and reality, Noémie Goudal’s images explore both real and fictional geography, creating ephemeral spaces that question the nature of the image and its representational qualities. Her work draws from the complex symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, between the artificial and the organic.

OBSERVATOIRES

ISBN : 9791090306493

Drawing inspiration from the cosmic architecture of Jantar Mantar , Observatoires depicts images of buildings (or fragments of buildings), staged by Noémie Goudal. The structures are created from images of concrete architecture that has been enlarged to human size, tiled across multiple sheets of paper and assembled atop a light frame. Like set pieces or props, these paper structures are transported to the isolated costal location for Goudal’s shoots. Their ephemeral presence within the photographic space and against their contrasting backdrops distorts or entirely erases all sense of scale and geography.
